Yep, nori is dirt cheap and added to just about every dish here, which is a problem for me because I HATE it! One of the first things I had to learn in Japanese was nori nashi-de onegaishimasu (with no nori, please)

As for the link above, I was also very amused to see the disclaimer to which you 'agree' by navigating their site:

Heheh...I learned to like it when I was little because I couldn't get away from it. The only time it is not all that tasty is if it is not washed well enough(or otherwise like that to start with) and you end up with some gritty stuff(sand) in your mouth...

My marine biology and SCUBA master instructor's wife is Japanese, so during our six hour Saturday classes, Dr. Reavis would bring in something for his lunch from her, usually nori soup or something along those lines. We were all offered a dry piece, and all I can compare it to is dried iceberg lettuce. No real taste to this Americanized-eating-of-fast-food tongue!

I must try it again. Maybe with BBQ sauce. (kidding! )_________________But if you tame me, then we shall need each other....You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

Nah, Irons, we gotta deep-fry it and put it on a stick. _________________But if you tame me, then we shall need each other....You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't cyano- usually contain toxins that keep any intelligent animal from eating it? If so, wouldn't this outweigh any benefits you might get from putting it into your digestive system? Plus, it's got to have that wonderful BGA smell . . . _________________"When I held that gun in my hand, I felt a surge of power ... like God must feel when he's holding a gun."
